In 2006, movie star Ben Affleck signed on to star as Superman. Actually, the film centered more around the man behind the scenes – George Reeves and his suicide or murder. It also starred Diane Lane and Adrien Brody. The movie takes places from the viewpoint of Adrien Brody who plays a detective, Affleck appears in flashbacks. While the entirety of the film shows Brody’s character attempted to get to the bottom of what happened in George’s life, it also juxtaposes the detectives own struggle with his ex-wife and young son. The film shows as George Reeves falls into an affair with Toni Mannix played by Diane Lane who is the wife of Eddie Mannix who is the general manager of the mega studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
